I remember reading somewhere that Nathan Lane is not in this season.

The fact that the thread for this show just now reached two pages is a goddamn travesty.

quote:

"I'm not going to be able to do it this season," says Lane. "Maybe I could squeeze one [episode] in at some point, but I'm going to be in rehearsal and then in performances of a Terrence McNally play, so I don't know. ... I've had such a great time there. We'll see, if time permits."

Lane also says that he thinks Hayden is fully on board with Diane Lockhart's (Christine Baranski) coming to Florrick, Agos & Associates, mostly because "certainly he's interested in helping them financially get on their feet," and also that they cut Lane's favorite part from the Season 5 finale.

"They cut my favorite thing of the episode, which is at the end when [Diane] said, 'I'm gonna come here and I'm gonna bring $38 million dollars' [they cut when] Clarke says, 'Well that's a surprise.'" Lane tells Zap2it.

Does anyone else watch this on cbs.com? Is the video extremely dark for you? I just caught up via Amazon Prime and now starting season 6 on the CBS website it's so dark it looks like Eli dyed his hair black.

Yeah, the quality is pretty bad. I get the impression CBS wants to make watching any of their shows online a huge pain in the rear end, with their crappy website and the tablet app that waits a whole week to release new episodes.

The more this series goes on the more horrible Alicia seems and it's gotten to the point where she is actually now the villain of the show and not the protagonist.

Aside from that weirdness, Alicia's getting evil Disney queen these days. Also, holy poo poo Bishop is so loving cool.

I noticed this, too. I think he just dyed his hair jet black, realized it looked ridiculous, and went back to the grey streaks. His hair was back to normal this week and I'm glad because the black hair was distracting.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
So Saint Alicia is running for States Attorney with the support of her husband who is the governor and bankrolled by a drug kingpin while her brother has an affair with a married Palestinian gay porn actor against the current States Attorney who uses his office to intimidate his potential rivals (Finn, Alicia) to prevent them from running. Sounds like they captured the Cook County Democratic scene perfectly. I just hope tha

I also loved the nod to Walking Dead/Talking dead this episode especially Eli/new campaign manager when they looked at the TV.

The line about "your brother is having an affair with a married Palestinian gay porn actor" while the daughter was in her room with church choir singing hymns or whatever was so over-the-top even for this show.

I liked the episode though and look forward to the entire Alicia campaign storyline.

No announcement of it officially, but the creators have made it clear that they don't want more than 7 seasons. Absolutely no word I've heard of that we're stopping with season 6, though.

Deadline reports that another main cast member is leaving this season.

I hope everybody reading this is now assuming the absolute worst case scenario, in which case the actual news might find you rather relieved - especially since it effectively saves another character from the axe.

Has it been that long since they have been in a scene together? Surely they did a few scenes together for the aftermath of Will dying.

It's been an internet rumor for awhile now but I literally think about it after each TGW episode since it's been so long since they've been in a scene together.

I am hoping the rumors about Margulies and Panjabi's rift are not true, but I do hope to see a good cat fight before Panjabi is written off.

Kalinda has just sabotaged Alicia's campaign by basically selling her off to Bishop like a piece of meat, which will certainly become apparent before this season ends. Alicia and her candidacy are so drat toxic, and I personally can't wait for the poo poo to hit the fan. It's amusing how a character who appeared to have a Midas touch in the earlier seasons has become radioactive overnight.

Eli has also started hating on Kalinda for not knowing about her and Peter's fling.

I have difficulty imagining a level of hatred from Margulies that would necessitate so much extra effort from writers and producers that wouldn't be enough to just have Archie written off the show. I'd think Margulies has a bit of sway as the Emmy-winning titular character of a highly rated critical darling.

We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.
The lease could plausibly be worth more than $50,000. I just love this show. I never saw Peter, scumbag that he is, as big an on screen scumbag as he was in that scene in the hallway with his hair all standing up. But then he shows up to endorse anyway and I'm just like, "Well, that's human beings. Scumbags one minute, surprisingly generous the next."

Are there any other shows holding Carrie Preston back from being written into a regular role instead of a guest role? I know True Blood is over now, I would not mind seeing her every week. Not necessarily as a plot driver, but as someone off in the background doing something obviously interesting at least once an episode.
